Figure 3-2 x440 block diagram showing the internal PCI-X slots
These slots can accept adapters rated at speeds ranging from 33 MHz to 133
MHz. When deciding which adapters to put in which slots, we recommend you
use the Active PCI Manager wizard to help you determine the best slots to use.
See 5.1, “Active PCI Manager” on page 130 for details.
You should also consider the following:
Each adapter has a maximum rated speed and each bus also has a
maximum rated speed.
Installed adapters in a single bus will operate at the slowest of three speeds:
– The rated speed of adapter 1
– The rated speed of adapter 2 (if the bus the adapter is installed in has two
slots)
– The rated speed of the bus
Bus B supports one adapter at up to 133 MHz or two adapters at up to 100
MHz.
32-bit adapters can be installed in any of the slots and will run in 32-bit mode.
32-bit and 64-bit adapters can coexist in 64-bit slots in the same bus. The
32-bit adapters will run in 32-bit mode, and the 64-bit adapters will run in
64-bit mode.
